We have identified a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the user profile page of our application. This vulnerability allows malicious users to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of other users' browsers, potentially leading to data theft or unauthorized actions.

Steps to Reproduce:

Log in as a regular user (non-admin).
Navigate to the user profile page.
In the "About Me" section, enter the following payload: <script>alert('XSS')</script>.
Save the profile changes.
Visit the user profile page again to trigger the XSS attack.
Current Behavior:

The entered JavaScript payload gets executed when viewing the user profile page, indicating a successful XSS attack.

Expected Behavior:

The application should properly sanitize user input in the user profile page to prevent XSS attacks. Any injected scripts or malicious code should be neutralized or escaped to ensure the security of the application.

Proposed Solution:

Implement input validation and sanitization functions to filter out malicious code from user inputs.
Use content security policies (CSP) to restrict the execution of inline scripts and other potentially risky content.
Conduct thorough testing to ensure that the fix effectively mitigates the XSS vulnerability without introducing regressions or other security issues.
